Rheem 10 Ton R-454B Packaged Heat Pump — RHPDYB120ACG000AAAA0
The Rheem RHPDYB120ACG000AAAA0 is a 10-ton Commercial Renaissance Classic Series packaged heat pump that provides both R-454B air conditioning and reverse-cycle heat-pump heating from one medium-commercial rooftop cabinet. Wired for 208/230V 3-phase power, it delivers 114,000 BTU/h AHRI net cooling at 11.0 EER / 14.1 IEER and supplies 112,000 BTU/h of heat-pump heating at 47°F (a 3.4 COP) and 68,000 BTU/h at 17°F. Built around a two-stage scroll compressor, all-microchannel coils, a reversing valve with demand defrost, factory refrigerant leak detection, and a belt-drive blower with a standard variable frequency drive (VFD), this convertible downflow/horizontal unit is an all-electric heating-and-cooling package for commercial buildings that want efficient heat without gas on a single 208/230V 3-phase rooftop.
Is a 10-Ton Heat Pump the Right Size?
This heat pump provides 114,000 BTU/h of net cooling and reverse-cycle heating from the same refrigerant system, so it is sized primarily on the cooling load, with heating performance that follows. On cooling, 10 tons typically suits roughly 4,000 to 6,000 sq ft of commercial space; in heating, output falls as the outdoor temperature drops, so colder climates usually add electric backup heat.
Cooling load depends on occupancy, ventilation, glazing, insulation, and local design temperatures. It holds a 3.4 COP at 47°F and about 2.25 COP at 17°F, which is why most commercial installations pair the heat pump with a field-installed electric heater kit for supplemental and emergency heat on the coldest days. The two-stage compressor and standard VFD supply fan improve part-load efficiency (IEER). Size the unit from an engineered commercial load calculation and add backup heat to cover the building's design heating load below the heat pump's balance point.
Ideal for: Big-box retail zones, large worship and assembly halls, gyms, and sizable open offices on 208/230V 3-phase power that want all-electric, no-gas heating and cooling — especially in mild-to-moderate climates or where electrification or lower on-site emissions are goals.
Cooling only? If you don't need heat-pump heating, the 10-ton RACD 208/230V 3-phase straight-air package unit is the cooling-only equivalent. Need the other voltage? See the 10-ton 460V 3-phase heat pump.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual cooling and heating requirements depend on insulation, ventilation, occupancy, solar gain, climate, and design temperatures. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cooling and heating does the RHPDYB120ACG000AAAA0 provide?
It delivers 114,000 BTU/h AHRI net cooling (11.0 EER / 14.1 IEER) and reverse-cycle heating of 112,000 BTU/h at 47°F (3.4 COP) and 68,000 BTU/h at 17°F (2.25 COP). Size it from a commercial load calculation and add electric backup heat for the coldest design conditions.
What power does the RHPDYB120ACG000AAAA0 require?
It is wired for 208/230V, 3-Phase, 60 Hz and, on the standard VFD-Medium drive, needs a 48 A minimum circuit ampacity with a 70 A maximum overcurrent protection device. The other-voltage build is the 10-ton 460V 3-phase version (RHPDYB120ADG000AAAA0).
Does a heat pump need backup heat?
In most commercial applications, yes. A heat pump's output drops as it gets colder (this unit holds a 3.4 COP at 47°F but about 2.25 at 17°F), so a field-installed electric heater kit is typically added for supplemental heat below the balance point and for emergency heat during defrost.
Does the VFD supply fan come standard?
Yes. A variable frequency drive on the belt-drive supply fan is standard on every RHPDYB unit. It ramps the fan smoothly and runs at reduced speed at part load for lower energy use, quieter operation, and better dehumidification.
Can this unit be installed downflow and horizontal?
Yes. Airflow is field-convertible between vertical downflow (for curbed rooftop openings) and horizontal side-flow, so the same unit works on a curb or a slab with side duct connections.
How is this heat pump different from the RACD straight-air unit?
The RHPD heat pump adds a reversing valve so it heats as well as cools, all-electric, with no gas. If you don't need heating from the unit (for example, you have separate heat), the 10-ton RACD 208/230V 3-phase straight-air (cooling-only) package unit is the equivalent cooling-only model.
